THis song refers to a pre- French Revolution phenomenon. Congress of France could not find anywhere to hold a political meeting, and so they locked themselves in a tennis court and talked about a new constitution.
While this is a popular interpretation and she has her hair styled in a similar way to what courtly women of the pre-revolutionary period in France in the video. I see little else that has to do with that.

Although, she is widely read and is well informed about the period (Marie Antoinette, etc.) she also styles herself as a goth in the video. She also has garbled (demonic?) voice responding with "yeah" responding to her lyrics. It sounds as if it is mocking her as much as affirming her sentiments.

Perhaps this is her way of still...
Perhaps this is her way of still "fucking with the fun when she is known?" She is obviously aware of some of the extreme "conspiracy" theories around her and she has on some occasion directly taken them on such as in the video "The World According to Lorde" and a recent tweet about the Denver airport.
@MarisaKregel There is no tie in with this theory and the song though? The song gives the impression of a girl that has rising above another. Nothing to do with French politics or a revolution. The song even mentions "on my first plane" ... there were no planes in 1789, and further highlights that it is more about going places (making something of yourself) than French politics on the 18th century.

Great insight. I now know more about the 'Serment du jeu de paume' than I'm sure I'll ever need to know!

Yes this is so true. It took me so long to realize this, but I finally did in my 9th grade history class
